Summary

Patient navigators can improve mammography screening rates. By offering direct scheduling assistance, this approach increased adherence in a nonadherent patient population.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Preventive Medicine
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Mammography screening is crucial for early breast cancer detection.
  • Adherence to recommended screening schedules can be challenging for some patient populations.
  • Patient navigation is a strategy to overcome barriers to healthcare access and adherence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a patient navigation process for promoting mammography screening adherence.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of patient navigation in increasing mammography screening rates.
  • To estimate the time commitment required for a patient navigation intervention in a health maintenance organization (HMO) setting.

Main Methods:

  • A nonrandomized practice improvement intervention was evaluated.
  • Women eligible for mammography who did not respond to reminders were contacted by a patient navigator.
  • Navigators offered telephone-based scheduling assistance, documented interactions, and confirmed screening completion.

Main Results:

  • Out of 188 women reached by phone, 112 scheduled appointments via the navigator.
  • Overall, 113 out of 298 women (38%) completed mammography screening.
  • The intervention required an estimated 55 hours and 33 minutes for calls, scheduling, and chart review.

Conclusions:

  • Patient navigation effectively increases mammography adherence, particularly in nonadherent populations.
  • Proactive scheduling assistance during patient contact significantly improves screening completion rates.
  • This intervention demonstrates a practical method to enhance preventive screening uptake within primary care.
